ive heard of a limited run (like 150 or so supposedely RARE AS!) of the r32 gtst or i think they also called it the gtsm about the same time the r32 gtr v spec 2 was released...

i think it came with the same body as the gtr (as in it had pumped guards)

now i always thought the mspec range was just cosmetic differences....

but they say this particular model came with a mspec2 2 rb20det engine... it had higher compression and a different turbo?

they say the engine is distinguishable by not having rb20 printed on the engine cover...

u know how the rb series have rb20, rb25 etc on the front of the engine, well this one is just blank...

i think it also came with bigger brakes..

can anyone confirm this???

ive searched everywhere and cant find much at all....

thanks..

When the R32 V-Spec II came out in 1994 there were no R32 GTS-t's only R33 GTS, GTS-25 and so on.

Series 2 R32 GTS-t and GTS-4 did come with a RB20DET that no longer had RB20 on the cam cover, also the coil packs were different, other then that the engine is nearly identical to Series 1.

All non GTR R32's were discontinued after 1993 when the R33 chassis replaced it.

The only M-Spec I know of is the R34 GTR named for the LeMans cars.

There is a series 1 and 2 in r32 gts-t.

There is also a thing called a Type-M.

So you are referring to a series 2 Type-M. The engine is pretty much exactly the same (if not identical)

The biggest difference between Type-M and non-Type-M is that they have the bigger 4 piston brakes, leather gear know, gear boot and steering wheel.

All of the "other" Type-M things (sunroof, bodykit, upgrade interior, front lip) are options available on both Type-M and non-Type-M skylines.

The biggest difference between series 1 and series 2 is that series 1 has blue dials and series 2 has grey dials.

All Series II GTS-t's are type-M, All GTS-4's series I and II are type-M. All of them have the bigger brakes, alloy wheels.

I can't recall which ones have which, but series I and series II coils differ in the fact that the contact point is a spring on one and a solid piece on the other.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
